I have been suffering from chronic inflammations on my skin for 20 years that affect my life. I am unable to work and there are days when I can not walk, or my arms cant move because of the pain. A serious form of Hidradenits Suppurativa ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hidradenitis_suppurativa ) is active on 50% of my body and continues to expand. After many antibiotic treatments, antibiotic resistance is starting to occur, which makes it much less effective. Other medicines also do not work and / or cause serious side effects. After several surgeries, trying various medications and the disease getting worse, my life is getting harder.

In the Netherlands there is no cure for Hidradenitis, and the symptom control is now starting to fail. Out of options, I went looking for a new treatment and found it through the television program "doctors of tomorrow’ ". A broadcast about the treatment with Bacteriophage , also called phages, showed a treatment with inflammatory diseases unknown in the Netherlands. As it turns out, in Georgia, people have been treating Hidradenitis for years with great success and without any side effects or surgeries. phages are another form of antibiotics for which you do not build up resistance as with regular antibiotics.

The current regulations in the Netherlands make it impossible to be treated with phages, which makes a trip to Georgia the only solution. Unfortunately, this entire process, including the treatments, is not covered by my insurance, so need to do something i find really hard and ask for your help, but i dont know what else to do.

the money I collect is for the entire treatment in Georgia and the post treatment with the prescribed phages in the Netherlands. Every Donation est welcome, thank you very much! follow my story and updates on www.facebook.com/helpsusanne
